  • Stepping back, I think we should go on a more general question and approach to how we view racism. The perrenial question should be, "What is racist?" It's something that I hear from people in both the curious and inqu…

  • I remember reading something that Albert had written about sexy legs when I was on my way home today. I have some pet peeves about body hair...not necessarily an abundance of it, but the modification or lack thereof. Y…

  • I think I've regained some of my writing spirit in the past two weeks. Perhaps this week is influenced by the fact that my big trip to Texas was cancelled, of which I'm still recovering from the disappointed from. Rega…

  • In continuation from previous discussions about the model minority myth, I think we tend to not acknowledge the benefits of such preconceptions that we get simply due to the fact that we're right in the middle of it. A…

  • If you can't tell from the banner picture, my trip to Houston was cancelled. I guess the planners were going to err on the cautious side and preemptively cancel the conference before folks had flown down to Texas. F…

  • Due to some glitch with Xanga, I guess folks' comments aren't appearing. I'm reposting yesterday's entry to provide an opportunity for folks to leave feedback about what I wrote. I would really appreciate it if the folks…

  • Zero points Continuing from yesterday's remark about the model minority myth and its connection with our conversations around rice and potatoes, I think it's good to bring up how we don't attach intellectualism to sexua…

  • Yet we stand still I was infuriated to see another reprint of the ancient Jason Chang piece, "The Truth about Gay Asian Men". It seems that we not only lack any standing in the mainstream discussion of race, but we al…

  • X-rated It may seem that I've lost my writing spirit due to the massive flood of paperwork piling up on my desk in my office. I have to spend tomorrow cleaning out my desk and table to ensure that there's no shocked exp…

  • Worked I've had a hiatus last week from doing any real writing due to my preoccupation with numerous amounts of last-minute assignments tossed onto my desk. Fortunately, I have a few days to take a breather before I hav…

  • Quacking freely I've been struggling with work lately due to the assignment of a special project. So far, work has been a major element of my life and I feel as if it's taking up more of my mind that I would like. I hav…

  • Picking skin One particular face piqued my interest when I was flipping through Comedy Central one evening. I saw the commercial teaser for an episode of Reno 911! and they were showing off this hunky guest star. When I…

  • Paid to swagger There's been an ongoing discussion in my circle about where we're heading with community affairs. It's not only a matter of what have we been doing in the last year or so, but the more pertinent topic of…

  • Open wounds Here's what I just added to my Dudesnude profile today. It's pretty much a reiteration of something that I had written a week ago, but I took it down after a fellow Dudesnude friend found it a bit too bitte…

  • Negated I want to say that there's nothing wrong with the way that we construct our stereotypes, because you know that type of revisionist thinking is not okay. That's the problem with our current discussion about refug…

  • Main event For now, I'm over this covert fiasco over my value at my workplace. I've settled on the notion that I should move on and it's none of my concern how things go once I leave. There's this air of contention that…
